Question : In a class, the average height of all students is $a$ cm. Among them, the average height of 10 students is $b$ cm, and the average height of the remaining students is $c$ cm. Find the number of students in the class. (Here $a>c$ and $b>c$)
Option 1: $\frac{\left ( a\left ( b-c \right ) \right )}{\left ( a-c \right )}$
Option 2: $\frac{\left ( b-c \right )}{\left ( a-c \right )}$
Option 3: $\frac{\left ( b-c \right )}{10\left ( a-c \right )}$
Option 4: $\frac{10\left ( b-c \right )}{\left ( a-c \right )}$
Correct Answer: $\frac{10\left ( b-c \right )}{\left ( a-c \right )}$
Solution :
Let the total number of students in the class be $x$.
Given,
$ax=10×b + (x-10)c$
⇒ $ax=10b + xc-10c$
⇒ $ax-cx= 10b -10c$
⇒ $(a-c)x= 10(b -c)$
$\therefore x=\frac{10\left ( b-c \right )}{\left ( a-c \right )}$
Hence, the correct answer is $\frac{10\left ( b-c \right )}{\left ( a-c \right )}$.
